Only 77MB free... I might grab an SD card and start installing applications onto it. It'd be easy to add the respective paths to the applications on the SD card to the PATH variable via a script. (I'm thinking about being able to make something that we can pass on as a package to others in the future.

I think the biggest problem will be the RAM. I don't know Android much (2nd week messing with it) but we should find a way to close down some of the apps when launching our 'full' linux. Maybe freeze them or something. If we're using an SD card could we not partition 1GB for swap? I heard about memory problems after having 11 tabs up in Firefox, it'll only get worse with more apps.

Throw in a keyboard/mouse and we could have a desktop that we can plug into any HDMI capable tv/monitor, that would be nice!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] electronaut:
I'm interested in this too. I was poking around /osh and trying to get gcc to work so I could try compiling some different things.

I think my aims are slightly different than yours, but lots of the same knowledge is needed. I'm interested in getting applications to run on the phone and showing up in the webtop. i.e. I'd like to have the xterm showing up on the top, not just across the network on a remote X display, like your laptop.

I can't get gcc to work because they seem to have left out the ARM 'cc1' binary which is called.

Anyway, do you mind posting the steps you took (and the site where you got the ARM xterm binary) to get the xterm up and running on the phone? I'm trying to get an ARM cc1 so I can get gcc up and going. From there, I'm hoping I'm not from from 'configure' and 'make' to get lots of different things working. (I realize this isn't something most people would want, but I'm looking at this from the point of view of someone who might like to develop applications for the webtop.)

Also, if you can find out what the proper DISPLAY environment variable is for the webtop itself (and what to tell the 'xhost +' command to let it display X on the webtop), that would be huge for me.

I'll post anything I'm able to find out as well. The more shared knowledge, the better.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sogarth:
For your .deb files, take a look at Launchpad. I'm guessing that's where Motorola probably got their files from.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kjbreil:
Does anyone have a backup of their /osh? I might of screwed some stuff up and would like to compare.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] droidbird:
I do, currently a 4k dd of the device, ~700mb.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mafisometal:
the memory problem is not really an issue, you just have to manually set the partition for webtop mode to be bigger, there is an extra 10gigs built in the phone to run, all that is needed is just the edit on that.

what i mean in full Linux is that i wan't to run REAL applications, not web apps. I ran an external hard drive will movies and music and what not. I saw that this device can really handle heavy traffic like 1080p videos and it brought me to think that this device has the performance to handle a full Linux with minimal lag. a 1080p video runs at an average 2gigs and running on the ram with about at a constant of 150-250 Mb/s depending on how it is running the codec. To be honest the ram is VERY efficient, and the only problem i see to be honest is trying to stream 720p off of YouTube because the phone can't take all the speed (even when in wifi off of a t3 network). There is some limitations but the system can definetly handle high traffic off the ram.

Anyways, aside from that. I searched through the /osh and i found that there is a way to script out addons to do specific back door functions. I'm not really a code scripter so this is where im in uncharted territories. Since this is Ubuntu source code, i believe that if you design a special function script to unlock service mode within the webtop, we might get a full terminal and maybe admin functions. Then maybe we will have right to install specific functionalities. Since Motorola built this build, my guess is that they'll have a pretty complicated security to tap into service mode. Anyone find anything of such resemblance in the root of the os?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] slhawkins:
We have root. We could go as far as setup our own desktop environment separate from Webtop. There would be no need to worry about Motorola's security problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timtucker:
Fair warning, I'm frequently wrong... but off the top of my head, I think you would need to chroot into the webtop environment in order for a dpkg / apt-get install to work correctly. From what others have posted and my own (brief) investigation, the webtop isn't completely standalone... it shares with the android environment. I've been thinking of leaving the webtop alone for now, and trying the method used to run a chrooted Ubuntu instance on the Nexus One. The risk is low, and once that is in place, I could take a shot at starting an X session that runs out the HDMI, instead of just a VNC server...

EDIT: I should have asked if you chrooted before I just assumed... Sometimes I think before I post, but not often enough.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I got xterm and xeyes to run locally

(binaries are from a ubuntu-jaunty-arm setup I did in qemu)

After I get a bit more working I'll post better instructions, but for tinkerers:

DISPLAY:0.0 is correct but you also need XAUTHORITY=/data/home/adas/.Xauthority

lxterminal seems to have issues running locally.

Things can be added to the dock by editing /data/home/adas/.gconf/apps/avant-window-navigator/window_manager/%gconf.xml but you'll also need to create a (standard) .desktop file. You can modify the nautilus one to browse /.

i agree package management is needed, but I don't think using the existing one is a good idea. I think either:

1) Create a ubuntu-arm based distro that can be launched when plugged into a dock/hdmi, but leave /osh mostly untouched

2) Or keep everything in a separate prefix, like macports/fink do.

A problem with using /data though is it's mounted nosuid. And /osh is near capacity already.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashamedovarski:
I think, in my system missing "cifs.ko" module. File would be in "system/lib/modules" .How to install it? :confused:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Normal firmwares dont have a cifs.ko, they only have:

dhd.ko, dhd_text.ko, reset.ko, (on streakdroid only: tun.ko)

if you think you really need it you could just copy it to the folder and fix the permissions to rw-r--r--
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerate:
I am also looking for this file as i would like to mount shares (through CifsManager etc).

Does anyone have a cifs.ko that works with froyo?
[G Tablet General] deccangroove:
While our devs are working hard to a port a honeycomb rom , did anyone get a chance to port any tablet optimized apps to use the big screen. I am excited as the Adam mail'd and sniffer app are pretty good and some xoom app ports will be amazing:)
[G Tablet General] cjackxiii:
Sorry, looks like no luck. Read this from a lot of different people smarter than I.
[G Tablet General] deccangroove:
Ohh thats bad. Anyway its only a matter of time till we get a 3.0 rom so its not a heartbreak:)

How to flash PG32IMG files?

Sorry guys, a little new with flashing on the Incredible S. How do you apply these files? Rename it to update.zip, copy to SD card and boot in Recovery?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Name: PG32IMG.zip

Place: root of SD-card

Start bootloader, follow the instructions on screen.
[HTC Incredible S] mtb2104:
Thanks!

Since I am already on it when I got the phone, I suppose this is worth to keep as a backup? :D
[HTC Incredible S] davidmak:
Hey timbo,

Thanks for the quick response. I followed your instructions. Booted into bootloader, it detected the file, loaded and checked. Then it fall back to the main menu. So I thought it is safe to reboot. But when I got back to my phone, its still on the old software. Did I miss anything?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Perhaps. Didn't tried it, maybe your current version number is higher than this one. Just follow my downgrade guide, but use this file instead off the one in the guide.
[HTC Incredible S] davidmak:
But I am on an European firmware 1.36.405.1. Was thinking of flashing this to get the Asian languages.

Update:

Wait a minute. Do I need goldcard to be able to flash? My phone isn't branded.
[HTC Incredible S] lge73:
Working only if u have Goldcard!
[HTC Incredible S] davidmak:
I have tried creating using GoldCard Helper. Making sure the reverse ID was correct twice. Followed all the procedures to the dot. Copied the PG32IMG file into the card. Booted, loaded, checked. Nothing happened.

Help?
[HTC Incredible S] AndroidWolf7:
But your device is branded ?
[HTC Incredible S] davidmak:
Actually no, the device is not branded. So I initially thought GoldCard is not required. But I do it anyway just make sure I don't miss out anything.

The device is on European ROM (indicated by the European languages) version 1.36.405.1. Radio seems to be up to date. So I don't know what I am missing up here.
[HTC Incredible S] davidmak:
Anybody can help? I just want to change the region to Asia WWE so that I can have the local languages. Or it is preferred that I go for RUU files?

HI davidmak,

after u make the goldcard, just run the .exe file and it will flash. do not go to bootloader.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lick My Toes:
just like the title says, boot animations dont work. Since i loaded the 1.3 rom into my phone, no boot animations have shown up. My phone would load from the Vibrant screen, into a completely black screen that lasts about 5 seconds, into the home screen. I then tried to load a different boot animation and nothing happens, just the same black screen. So i guess my questions are 1) why wont the other boot animations i loaded work? and 2) is the black screen the stock bionix boot animation?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
try re-flashing the ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
what kernel are you running? it must be a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip.

stock kernel does not, fyi

also make sure that the bootanimation.zip is tailored for the vibrant (.png resolution), and that images are named correctly, and that the folder structure is accurate if you made changes. the desc.txt file inside the zip calls for a certain number of images that have a certain name.

if that confuses you^^^ then just remember this: if you make changes to a bootanimation.zip, always make sure your changes mirror the original setup (image size, name, type, folder structure, same desc.txt file, etc.)

check on this stuff and then post back with what you find

arrrghh...this and "ODIN back to stock" have become everyones answer to every problem!!!!;)

there are plenty of other steps he can take before going through the trouble of reflashing the ROM.....people will never learn anything if they just reflash or ODIN everytime something happens
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lick My Toes:
i did this...several times actually and same thing happens. even ODINed back to stock with no different results.

what does the stock bionix boot animation look like? And to make it clear... the stock kernel that came with bionix doesnt support bootanimations? i have loaded different ones (boot animations) before on Nero, and they worked perfectly. I grabbed them right here on xda. So i somewhat have an idea of what im doing. But i havent messed with any kernels since i loaded this rom, maybe i need to flash a different one? any suggestions?

also....i too am from boston:D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
i dont know what kernel comes with bionix, it will say in the OP of the ROM....and i dont know what the bootanimation looks like....never used the ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
The stock Bionix-V boot animation is black w/ "Team Whiskey" appearing in white letters repeating....the kernel that Bionix-V comes with DOES support bootanimation.zip....cuz i'm using my Matrix Red one now.....if it didn't have a bootnaimation.zip then it would just show the stock "Android" boot screen....so its is something that you're doing wrong....are you grabbing some that are from other phone forums on XDA or are you getting them from Vibrant section of XDA?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lick My Toes:
im getting them from right here in the vibrant section. and theres no way i did anything wrong because i havent seen a boot animation since the FIRST flash (1.3) it has always gone VIBRANT > BLACK SCREEN > UI. No stock android bootscreen no nothing! when i originally loaded bionix V, the TW boot animations worked and showed up. But it hasnt since i updated to 1.3....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
go into system/media with root explorer or super manager and rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak then use it to move your bootanimation.zip you want to use into system/media and make sure you set permissions to rw--r--r--
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
Please post questions in the Q&A forum.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spi7fire:
i have the same problem!!

i have the same problem, no matter which boot animation i put - it doesnt work.

it shows the original android boot animation.

the thing is that team whiskey's boot animation DOES works..

** UPDATE **

I found the solution!!

I used ES File manager to copy the file, but this app doesnt has CHMOD changing.

you need to give the .zip file CHMOD 777 (read/write/execute permissions) in order it to work.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] synapsesburned:
I had no problem downloading the 0.8.3 .Apk from launcherpro.com, and installing it on my Xoom.

It's definitely not optimized for Honeycomb, but I haven't noticed any performance dips. You lose the search bar and app drawer button at the top of the screen, as well as the Honeycomb homescreen customization window and app drawer, but well worth it to get the LP widgets and widget resizing functionality back.

On 1.0.1 I rooted using autonooter.. then I installed clockwordmod 3.0.0.5 selecting "nook old".. then I tried to boot into recovery and it keeps going to the page that says "touch the future of reading" with the logo, shutting off, turning on and going back to that page.. and so on..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Update]

- Tried to run the solutions listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690

- Doesn't Work. Nook just turns on to "touch the future of reading" screen, shuts off, and turns back on to that page.. and continuously does that.. Tried to do a factory reset and the 8 restarts..

Any advice? Thinking of trying to bring it in to B&N to return. Would they know it was rooted? I can't even get past that screen :(
[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
There should be a repair file on this forum. Did you by any chance, ever "format boot"? If so, this might be the culprit, as it removes the ability to enter CWR because the boot sector is modified.

It's worth a shot...
[Nook Color General] kazuo459:
hey, thanks for your reply!

I don't think I ever did format boot.. i don't even know what that is.. hehe
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Ever figure this out? I really don't want to go back to stock. I didn't format boot either.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Never mind - found it elsewhere. You have to use cwr-removal.zip and remove the recovery. It happens if you flash the recovery and then immediately go into recovery mode before rebooting.

Is it possible to change the text message time stamp to when the text was sent instead of when it was received?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Your question makes no sense to me. Aren't sms messages sent pretty much instantaneously? If you really want to know when it was sent, subtract maybe a minute... tops... from the time stamp.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelB91:
If your phone is off and someone sends you a text the message will show up when you turn the phone back on but the time stamp on the text will be when you turned it on even if the sender of the text sent it a week ago.

I would like to know when the message was sent, even if the phone was off.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkethicx:
Ah ok. Now I get what you mean. Your phone shows the timestamp from when the message was received, and as far as I know, that's network related. Your phone will get the message as soon as it can from the server, and make note of the time that it did that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelB91:
Though its also possible to get the network to tell you when it was sent since I had other phones on tmobile that did that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huynhp:
I'd be really interested in this as well. During the week, i spend many hours in rooms with little or no reception. When I finally leave, i instantly receive 5+ texts and it'd be useful to know when it was sent.
[Android Themes] leebaber:
Hello all I know this may seem a bit cheeky asking for other to do the work, but I believe I can't be the only one out there who likes there phone to look organised, but varied. Basically I'd like a set of folder icons based on the standard android folder icons but with more variety, for example you get face book, contacts, blue tooth etc, with the phone but I would love to have a different logo, for tools, games bookmarks, social networks etc (see photo). So if anyone else would like to have the same please bump this thread and hopefully if anyone has the skills and time will take notice and make a set.
